Their autonomy and competence enable evaluation, consultation, implementation and the taking of specific responsibility in their field of expertise.
2. IMPLICATION OF REGISTRATION
The individual subscribes to and will adhere to the Professional Code of Conduct of the Act. As such he/she is required to accept legal responsibility for the soundness of the work executed and thereby affording protection to the public.
3. COMPLETING THE REFEREE REPORT
3.1 Aim
The referee report is a necessary and supplementary document to the applicant’s application for registration as a Registered Fire Protection Systems Practitioner with ECSA. The aim is to convey to the Council, on a confidential basis, the personal knowledge, which the referee or the employer has of the applicant, and in the process to make a reasoned evaluation of the applicant’s capabilities.
3.2 Motivation
It is necessary that the referee or employer be able to clearly and strongly motivate his/her opinion in respect of the applicant’s readiness for registration. The referee must, when supplying reasons, consider the minimum legal registration requirements.
When signing the referee report, referees declare that they are acquainted with Council’s Policy Statement R2/1K and that they are prepared to be interviewed by the Council to substantiate their viewpoint, should Council require them to do so.
3.3 Evaluation
The referee must carefully evaluate the applicant’s capabilities. An evaluation of the candidate’s ethical and professional competence is required.
Referees should have a personal knowledge of an applicant and his/her work and they should be able to give a professional opinion on his/her specific engineering ability, level of specific engineering responsibility and professional conduct during the period of time of their knowledge of the applicant's activities.
The referee must carefully evaluate the applicant’s capabilities and correctly and accurately complete the report as Council attaches great value to the information, which is supplied by the referee.
4. GENERAL
The Referee Report should be returned directly to ECSA by the referee. Referees are requested to have their assessments typed or to complete the report in legible block letters using black ink to ensure clear copying, since written assessments are frequently not very legible and to the detriment of the applicant.
5. CONFIDENTIALITY
ECSA undertakes to protect the confidentiality of all the information received from the referee.

4. International Register:
|Applicable only to persons already registered with ECSA who are applying for registration on the ECSA portions of the International |R 3190.00 |
|Registers. This is a once-off fee. No annual fees are payable. | |

|Candidates (4) |Professional & Registered Categories |
|Partial Exemption |No Exemption |Partial Exemption |No Exemption |
|991.00 |1371.00 |2292.00 |3190.00 |
Notes:
1) Annual fees are payable by all persons registered for as long as they are registered with ECSA. In the first year a pro rata annual fee from the date of registration to the end of March will be raised. Thereafter annual fees are raised every year for the period April to March.
2) Payment details:
a. Banking details: Standard Bank Eastgate Branch, Branch Code 018505, Account No. 221285938. Swift code SBZAZAJJ.
b. The accepted methods of payment are cheque, credit card (Visa or MasterCard only), EFT or deposit made at any Standard Bank branch into ECSA’s bank account. No cash will be accepted at ECSA’s Offices.
c. Please do not send cheques by post. ECSA will take no responsibility for cheques lost in the post or intercepted.
3) No Applications will be considered until payment for the full application fee has been received.
4) Persons registered in the Candidate category for more than six (6) years pay the same annual fees as persons registered in the Professional category.
5) Appeals. When a person wishes to appeal, a fee equalling twice the amount of the application fee that was payable by the applicant when applying for registration, will be payable.
6) An Early bird discount is granted to Registered persons if their annual fees for April to March are paid on or before 30 April. The discount is R50 for candidates and R100 for Professionals, VAT inclusive.
7) In addition to the annual fees in arrear, an admin fee of R450 is payable when reinstating a registration within one year of cancellation. After one year of being cancelled persons will need to re-apply for registration.
8) Persons who will be residing outside the RSA borders for a year or longer should advise Accounts of their overseas postal address in order for VAT to be removed from their invoice.
9) Registered persons should be aware of the fact that their registrations will not be cancelled if they have not been able to obtain their CPD points within the required time. Should they on the other hand not pay their annual fees in time, and they have not made any arrangements with Accounts for an extension, their registrations will most definitely be cancelled. CPD queries must be taken up with CPD@ecsa.co.za.
10) Once the registration of Registered persons is cancelled due to non-payment, and reinstatement is requested within twelve months from cancellation, an admin fee of R450, in addition to the annual fees in arrears, is payable. After one year of being cancelled persons will need to re-apply for registration. The normal application fees would then be raised in addition to the annual fees still owing. The re-application process is fortunately much simpler than the original process.
11) Persons who will be residing outside the RSA borders for a year or longer should advise Accounts of their overseas postal address in order for VAT to be removed from their invoice. Invoices will still be emailed to that person.
12) Annual fees cannot be frozen whilst working abroad. The Registered person has two choices: continue paying annual fees whilst abroad; or request cancellation of registration. If the Registered person is planning to return to the RSA after a few years it would probably be cheaper and convenient not to cancel his or her registration. Should a person cancel his or her registration, an application for re-registration and the application fee awaits that person when wishing to re-register. In addition to that, if the person wishes to retain his or her old registration number, all annual fees from date of cancellation up to the current year are payable. If the person opts for a new registration number, he or she would only be required to pay the application fee, plus any possible fees owing for the year of cancellation and the current year’s annual fee.
13) Registered persons, if their employer is willing to pay ECSA’s annual fee for their employees, should advise Accounts of their employer’s official name and address plus VAT number for inclusion on the invoice.
14) Annual fees invoices can be sent to the employer directly for payment. If that is the arrangement, the Registered person will not receive an invoice. He or she would receive a statement of account, as evidence of the charge raised against the employer. Should the Registered person not agree with the charge, he or she should advise their employer not to pay the invoice. The Registered person must take up the wrong charge with Accounts and request a correction. Once the problem is resolved, Accounts will issue a revised invoice. Registered persons should not present the statement of account to the employer for payment. Employers do not pay on statement. They should already have the invoice.
15) The fee for persons between the ages of 55 and 70 who have been granted the retired dispensation will be R191.00 (VAT inclusive).
